...morning, when Le Train Bleu glided into Monte Carlo Station, His Highness Prince Pierre Marie Xavier Raphaël Antoine Melchior de Polignac, Due de Valentinois, and Comte de Polignac, stepped forth before suspicious, hostile eyes. Proud, race-conscious Monégasques (Monaco natives) despise Prince Pierre as a mere naturalized citizen of Monaco, and a black-hearted Frenchman under his skin.
